‘Distressing’ levels of sexual assault and harassment at uni - a podcast by triple j

A damning report has painted a harrowing picture of student safety at Australian unis.

The survey of more than 40,000 students found 1 in 6 had been sexually harassed since starting uni, and 1 in 20 had been sexually assaulted.

It's also shone a light on how institutions deal with theses issues - and students aren't happy about it.

Plus, tennis legend and current world number 1 Ash Barty has made a pretty shocking and emotional announcement that's she's retiring from the sport.

And what's it been like for young Russians who oppose the invasion of Ukraine?
